About Waterlily ecosystem:
The 'Urbani' pond is one of my cornerstones. Ex quarry on the bank of the Metauro river, now is colonized by a rich population of insects, amphibians and birds. In recent years some local naturalistic associations have built fantastic observatories for nature photography: you can go there and sit and take pictures without interfering.

Even when I don't have a particular project in mind, it’s a pleasure to stop for a visit. I can be sure to come home with a notebook full of ideas.

This study of a hypothetical Nymphaea alba ecosystem is the development of one of these ideas. I was impressed by the depth to which the stems descended, and by the number of creatures that darted between them. Then, looking at the notes I had taken, I was impressed that all the themes somehow hinted at the ephemerality of the passing time.

At that moment I decided that mass of confused notes should become a painting.

As usual, I started with a preparatory sketch on parchment paper to test the colours and the texture of the leaves.
